Must UK directors verify their identity with Companies House?

Yes. The Economic Crime and Corporate Transparency Act 2023 introduces compulsory identity verification for directors, for people with significant control and for those who file on a company's behalf. Verification is done directly with Companies House or through an authorised corporate service provider registered for the purpose. Acting as a director without verification is an offence, and unverified filings can be rejected.
